In Amanda’s work supporting people in abusive and unhealthy relationships, it has become further evident to her how much stress and toxic relationships affect a client’s physical health. Part of her approach is to help further the mind-body connection and relate the physical discomfort to the psychological stressors.

Amanda is there to support each of her clients as they embark down a new path. She is passionate about the work she does and wants to ensure her clients’ needs and goals are being met.
